Try Turning off Search Indexing and\/or SysMain to Speed Up Your PC<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Search Indexing (Windows Search)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Windows 10 constantly indexes your hard disk in the background. It’s called Search Indexing. Indexing is supposed to make searching your PC faster. But if your PC is slow, that constant indexing can decrease performance. Turning off Search Indexing can speed up your computer. This is especially true if your computer has a standard hard drive. But even if you have an SSD drive, turning off indexing can improve your speed, because the constant writing to disk that indexing does can eventually slow down SSDs too.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can turn off Search Indexing in Windows 10 this way:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Type SERVICES.MSC in the taskbar search and press Enter.<\/span>
\n2. Locate Windows Search in the list of services and double-click it.<\/span>
\n3. Next to “Startup type” click on the down arrow to expand the list and choose “Manual”<\/span>
\n4. Click the “Stop” button.<\/span>
\n5. Click Apply\/OK<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Restart your computer<\/span><\/p>\n

Your searches may be slightly slower, but your computer should be slightly faster. If desired, you can always go back and change the Windows Search startup type to “Automatic” or “Automatic (Delayed Start)” and restart your computer. Windows will again start search indexing.<\/span><\/p>\n

SysMain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

SysMain used to be called “Superfetch” before the release of Windows 10 version 1809. SysMain is a system optimization feature that is supposed to speed up performance. However, many times, SysMain causes high disk or CPU usage that can cause your PC to run slowly. You can disable SysMain without harming your computer or your Windows installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Type SERVICES.MSC in the taskbar search and press Enter.<\/span>
\n2. Locate SysMain and double-click it.<\/span>
\n3. Next to “Startup type” click on the down arrow to expand the list and choose “Disabled”<\/span>
